MOORESVILLE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS The Board of Zoning Appeals for the Civil Town of Moores- ville met at a called meeting on Tuesday, September 26, 1978, at 7:30 p.m. The following Board members were present: Mr. Ray House, Mr. Paul Walters, Mr. Steve Edwards, and Mrs. Nan Kollmeyer. The attorney for the Board, Mr. David E. Lawson, was also present. Steve Edwards, as Chairman of the Commission, called the meeting to order. In the absence of an appointed secretary, Mrs. Nan Kollmeyer was selected to act as acting secretary for the meeting. Mr. Edwards advised the Board that the meeting was called to act upon Petition No. 3, 1978, filed by petitioners Charles Ray Bain and Virginia Catherine Bain, husband and wife, at 54 West Washington Street, Mooresville, Indiana. Mr. Lawson, as attorney for the Board, indicated that the Petition appeared to be an order to be acted upon as publication had been made and notice give~ to adjoining property owners. There were no persons appearing in favor or against the Petition. Mr. Charles Ray Bain presented evidence on the Petition asking that the variance be permitted for a wood working shop in a one story building at the rear of his property at 54 West Washington Street. In previous years this building had been used as a printing shop. Mr. Bain indicated that the wood shop would be operated during the day and would not involve any heavy equipment. After considering the evidence presented in the case, a motion was made by Mr. Ray House, and seconded by Mr. Paul Walters that the variance be granted which motion was unanimously approved by all members present. Mr. Lawson advised the Board that Mrs. Carl Walker had call- ed inquiring as to whether or not she could continue to sell items out of her residential home at her property at 630 Maple Lane, Mooresville, Indiana, thru the Christmas holiday period. This is the matter that was heard last month and the Petition for variance had been denied. Mr. Lawson read to the Board the response that was made to Mr. and Mrs. Carl Walker indicating to them there was no provision for them to continue the operation of their business and legally they had exhausted their remedies except for appealing the action of the Board of Zoning Appeals and dening their Petition to a Court of law in Morgan County.
